public class Xdef

extends Def

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \xdef.

The Primitive \xdef

This primitive is an abbreviation for \global\edef. Thus the description of \edef can be consulted for details. TODO missing documentation

Syntax

    ⟨xdef⟩
       → ⟨prefix⟩ \xdef ⟨control sequence⟩ ⟨parameter text⟩ { ⟨replacement text⟩ }

    ⟨prefix⟩
      →
       | \global ⟨prefix⟩
       | \long ⟨prefix⟩
       | \outer ⟨prefix⟩

public Xdef(java.lang.String name)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

name - the name for debugging

assign

public void assign(Flags prefix,

                   TokenSource source,

            throws InterpreterException

Description copied from class: AbstractAssignment

The method assign is the core of the functionality of execute(). This method is preferable to execute() since the execute() method provided in this class takes care of \afterassignment and \globaldefs as well.

Overrides:

assign in class Def

Throws:

InterpreterException
